Following my guide on how to install (Native Local) Gamepass on Steam OS, I followed up on this with a few tests I've made (comparing the same game through Game Pass vs. SteamOS, Sleep Mode, Cloud Saves, Achievements and more). If you got any questions feel free to ask!

Just want to bask in the fact that my bluetooth finally works.

Now that I have multiple controllers working, should I play Split Fiction, or, It Takes Two, with my 11yo daughter?

This is what I built this machine for!

After updating my Lenovo Legion Go S to SteamOS 3.9.5, I have a weird performance issue.

​In low demanding games like Megabonk (using Lossless Scaling), I used to get a smooth 120 FPS at 15W. Now, the game runs terribly unless I set it up to 30W+, or manually lower the GPU clock:

- ​GPU set to 2700 MHz: only ~40 FPS.

- ​GPU locked less than 2100MHz MHz: jumps straight to 120 FPS at 15W.

​Is anyone else having this issue after 3.9.5? Any other fix?

I have no connection problems or anything like that on any other multiplayer games, but also I have had no issues playing multiplayer portal 2 on my nobara machine. This issue only seems to exist on steamos. Anyone experience anything similar? Anything I can try to look into to fix this? Machine is connected via wifi from the unit that came with the mobo (MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI). Unsure of exactly which make model the chip is, but will check if it becomes relevant.

Running SteamOS on separate SSD on my PC. Been running fine with no issues for months now. Randomly today I had been running in windows as some games do not operate on Steam yet and when I went to reboot and boot back into steam it is stuck on boot loop. I am unaware of any patches or changes today on the operating system to potentially have caused this. I know there was a update in the last day or two but I had run steam since then.

Behavior: I see mobo post screen, see the quick prompt to hit F11 to change boot order (steam OS is #1, so I do nothing) screen turns black and I expect it to start loading into steam (on other screen, I have two screens) and instead it just loops back to beginning and I see mobo post again.

I CAN hit F11 and boot into windows with no issue. I did verify that secure boot hadn't turned back on. I have not changed any system level configs recently so I am unaware of what caused the boot loop.

Questions: How do I recover? I suspect the bootloader is stuck on some thing and just needs to get past that. I did run a test on the nvme drive and no issues.

I'm on a AMD 9850x3d and a 9070xt so drivers shouldn't be an issue. Again, had zero issues for a while now running this way.

Hi all!

Currently running 6700xt, 10700kf on bazzite. Tried to install steamos couple months back to no avail, it just froze half way couple times over, put down to intel cpu.

Hear last few updates have made great improvments, this true? Worth swapping from bazzite?

Wanting to swap as lots of my controllers to random slow input on bazzite, never happened when this pc ran windows! Really.annoyi jn game!

Thanks

I want to build a steam machine like pc that can replace my ps5 as my living room gaming console because fuck Sony. However, I don’t really know where to start. I used to know a decent amount about gaming pc specs when I was I high school and considering building one but I never had the money to do so and have not thought about it in a long time. I want to build something small that can fit in my entertainment center where my ps5 is currently but it doesn’t have to be tiny considering the space fits my ps5 with plenty of extra room. I also want to install steamOS as it seems like this would give me the most console like experience. I don’t mind tinkering with settings and things like that and I don’t necessarily have a budget but don’t want to go too much more expensive than the current steam machine although given the state of things I’m sure that will be near impossible. If you could give me some suggestions on parts I should look at and that case to buy that would be much appreciated. Pretty much all I know is I should get an AMD graphics card because I guess Nividia doesn’t play nice with steamOS.
